PROJECT

Since 2016, Redes da Maré, from the axis Right to Public Security and Access to Justice, has been developing the project Eyes on Maré which, continuously, collects and systematizes information about situations of violence in the 16 communities of the Maré, especially in situations of armed conflicts resulting from the current drug and public security policy in the country.
 

In 2022, Eyes on Maré expanded beyond monitoring violence, incorporating the actions of the course Speaking About Public Security in Maréwhich until 2021 was offered semiannually for residents, workers, activists, intellectuals and other people interested in the theme of public security and human rights. In addition, it also absorbed the continuing education activities with the teams of Redes da Maré through the holding of monthly study groups open to staff. From this experience, the dynamics of the Conversation Cycles originated, culminating in the 1st International Congress Speaking About Public Security,which took place throughout the year 2022.


In this way, Eyes on Maré constitutes itself as a knowledge production project, continuing education for teams and monitoring of violence for construction of counter-hegemonic narratives about slum, public security, human rights and violence.

7th EDITION - 2022


In this 7th edition of the Bulletin Right to Public Security in Maré, Redes da Maré reflects and presents data on armed violence and its effects on the daily lives of residents of the 16 favelas of Maré during the period of 2022. This information is related to police operations and clashes between armed groups that occurred throughout the year. Comparative analyzes were drawn between the year 2022 and the five previous years, which allows for a broader and longer-term view of what demonstrably intensifies or mitigates the critical scenario of violations and violence that affect residents in the 16 favelas of Maré. In 2022, there was a significant increase in the number of police interventions and, consequently, homicides.

 

 


 

 


Bulletin of Monitoring and Confronting Violence in Maré


The Bulletin Right to Public Security in Maré brings together, annually, unprecedented data on armed violence in the set of slums of Maré, Rio de Janeiro. The quantitative and qualitative data is continuously collected by the project "Eyes on Maré". Over the past years, the daily monitoring of the different impacts of the action or omission by the State in Maré has highlighted the scenario of urban insecurity caused by a confrontational model of public security, prevalent in Rio de Janeiro, which submits residents of slums and peripheries to extreme conditions of injustice, denial of rights, invisibility, fear and pain.

6TH Edition - 2021


In the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, after 18 months of suspension of police operations in slums of Rio de Janeiro, determined by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in the scope of the "ADPF das Favelas", the 6th Bulletin Right to Public Security in Maré analyzes the effects of this determination. The team highlighted how its compliance varies on the slums of Maré, or even between the territory and other slums in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro.

 

 

 


SPECIAL EDITION 1ST SEMESTER 2021


The changes in relation to the Public Security policy guidelines in Rio de Janeiro, through legal instruments such as the Maré’s Public Civil Action (ACP da Maré) and the ADPF 635 (ADPF das Favelas), especially with the suspension of police operations during the pandemic in the State of Rio de Janeiro in 2020, were not sustainable in the long term. This bulletin highlights several relaxations that have impacted the reduction of violence and the violation of rights of the more than 140,000 residents of Maré.
